Where did Trump voters get their news? 📰 Yes, there's social and partisan sites, but there is another influential strategy that isn't getting enough attention: Manipulated, pay-to-play and all out fake news sites I've been covering a mix of those for years. Here's a primer 🧵

Typical Silicon Valley (pseudo-) logic: let's just pretend this tech is magic, and that its costs don't matter. Yes, there are many meaningful climate-positive applications of AI, but we urgently need to address the environmental impacts of (superfluous) generative AI.

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt says energy demand for AI is infinite and we are never going to meet our climate goals anyway, so we may as well bet on building AI to solve the problem

In a heroic move, Gisele Pelicot fought to make public the videos of her unconscious rapes at the hands of over 50 men and won. She wanted the public “to look rape straight in the eyes.” Shame, she said, must change sides —from the victims to the perpetrators. Police found more…

Microsoft built data centers near the drought stricken city of Colon—Mexico gave it subsidies & just one facility was allocated 25 million liters of groundwater a year. That's ~25% of what the general public gets. My colleague @DianaBaptistaR visited:context.news/ai/video/forge…

Why would @RioTinto want to censor this @Nature article?🤔 "Research drilling by @RioTinto has already produced environmental damage ... causing crops to dry out. ...our investigations reveal substantially elevated downstream concentrations of boron, arsenic, and lithium ..."

Rio Tinto is demanding the removal of a peer-reviewed scientific article published in Nature that documents the environmental devastation lithium mining in Serbia would cause. Rio Tinto is literally attempting to censor scientists and remove scientific publications from the…

If you aren’t aware, the EU and particularly Germany are pressuring Serbia to move forward and mine massive lithium deposits that locals and scientists have thus far delayed over unavoidable environmental and societal damages.👇🏽

Reviewing books years after they’ve come out. Sharing reviews months after they’ve been published. Why not. I liked this book a lot. turningpointmag.org/2024/04/24/map…

Reading a case study on indigenous communities rights. The text goes: "Low levels of literacy, poverty, and a lack of technical and leadership skills has resulted in landlessness." Think they meant: "Racism, settler colonialism, and capitalism have resulted in landlessness."

Sì, tutto allucinante. Un plotone di esecuzione contro la verità. Razzismo ossificato, relativismo etico, vittimismo menzognero, straccioneria e strafottenza condensati in una puntata. Questa è l'ultima volta che regalo a porro il mio tempo. Italia, resisti, tu non sei questo.

Tutto allucinante e assurdo, sembra di stare in un incubo asfissiante che fa proprio male fisicamente, come se non fosse già tragico quello che sta succedendo a Gaza. Grazie @FranceskAlbs per aver accettato questo supplizio ma ormai è una verità incontrovertibile: lì non si…
